“Great location, but...” One of the best locations near Port A that I've ever been to. Very private. The property is nice but the downstairs area is really more of a dungeon. It's only accessible from an outside door. It's dark and has no windows. The property wasn't very clean. Beer cans and junk just laying around the house, the interior wasn't very clean and unlike most rentals it wasn't stocked with basic essentials in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable, the AC worked great and the internet worked fine albeit rather slow. This house should get 5 stars if they took a little time on fixing a few things (the myriad of french doors leading to the huge back deck are broken and it took a while just to find the one that worked) and clean it better. When we arrived to pick up the keys the young lady who greeted me seemed rather dismissive and not the kind of welcome I usually get when arriving for what is clearly a vacation.

“Island Star really a star” 707 Park Place was a dream site for our extended family reunion. The house was spacious, clean, cool and/or warm as conditions required. My gourmet wife was happy she brought a lot of her own specialty cooking tools, but the appliances performed well. Access to the beautiful beach was easy - by car or on foot via the private boardwalk. While only the young and the brave dared the coolness of the swimming pool in December it was a welcome addition that was well-maintained by weekly visits of a cleaning pro. The hot tub needs a more consistent thermostat and entry and exit is tough on seniors. For golf addicts like me, the nearness of Newport Dunes and the warm professionalism of it's staff was wonderful. As the family came and went via Corpus Christi airport, which proved reasonably convenient, my wife and I spent a month at Island Star. It was a great month!

“great stay” We stay with this complex every year and are never disappointed. I love the location, right next to the beautiful beach. The condo is clean and very nice.Comfortable decor and comfy beds. The pool is nice and the grounds are clean. We enjoy the playground and enjoy cooking out on one of the grills on the property. I like the new gazebo that has been installed since we were there last. I would definately recommend this place and I do all the time.

“Amazing view and location, new property...bonus” We loved the location, view and proximity to town. The third floor was perfect for entertaining, had a great open kitchen which made it enjoyable to cook for the family. It was well appointed with everything you need. It ha 6 bedrooms, 5 1/2 bath, 2 kitchens, bar, play room, TV in every room, a well needed elevator and a garage. The pool was just an added bonus as we really enjoyed going to the beach daily.

“Lounging by the Beach” Get ready to put your feet up! This house is as close you can get to the beach without getting your feet sandy. Sitting and watching the waves come in at any hour of the day or night was wonderful. Our whole family of all ages had a great time, however, limit your guest number as bunk beds are not available for children. All in all though, closeness to the beach well made up for the limited space.

“Great” We had a great time. The location was wonderful. We didn't drive anywhere. Even with the rain, we still had fun. It was nice to take all our children and grandchildren. That's what it is all about making memories. Thank you for sharing your home for the weekend.

“Awesome Vacation home” House was great, plenty of room for numerous vehicles and other toys

“had good time” Had good time with our friends

“We'll be back!” Wonderful condo for our family of 6. The cleanest and most relaxing beach front rental we've had in years, including our regular favorites at Sandpiper next door. I believe the other reviews about lacking amenities and such are old, b/c that certainly was not the case here. Golf clap...

“Great extended family vacation” We rented this house for a get-together with 3 generations. The kids loved the bunk room. I had brought a fan because of previous reviews that said this room was very hot in the summer. A new window unit has been put in and it was nice and cool even in the middle of July! The queen sized beds in all of the other bedrooms made them perfect for the 4 couples staying. It would have been nicer to have another bathroom for the 13 people staying there, but it was manageable. Note: there is no bathroom on the first level where the bunk room is. The management company graciously provided a new (still in box) pack- n-play for an infant in our party. We loved how close to the beach the house was. We have rented houses in Port A 3 other times and this was the closest access to the beach we have ever had. We loved hanging out in the roomy living area with the open kitchen and dining area. The kids usually ate in different shifts from the adults since there are only 8 seats at the table. There are bar stools where extra people could sit, or just spread out bech towels on the roomy covered porch and let them eat picnic style. The only complaint I would make is the lack of kitchen utensils and pans for a house this size. Fortunately, I had packed some plastic utensils (yuck!) and paper plates and cups just in case. Some large baking sheets and a griddle for bacon or pancakes would be nice additions, along with real silverware. Also, the charcoal grill was inadequate---very small and basic. If you are a party of 4, you'll do just fine. Overall, we enjoyed our 3 night stay there, though. It worked very well for our family.

“Perfect for us!” Beautiful home with ample space. Everything you needed was in the house. It had great views from the deck. Short walk to the beach. The neighborhood was clean and quiet. I will definitely rent again.

“#30 is the place!” Stayed in #30 which is upstairs. Loved the Beach view. The big blue house directly in front of the balcony didn't actually detract from the view at all. This unit has an overhang above the roof, so our balcony was shaded. Big plus when it was time to each lunch on the balcony! Master had a queen size bed up with one side up against a wall and double with access on both sides of the bed so my wife and I slept separately, but it definitely worked. Queen mattress was too soft for me anyway. I'm pretty picky, but this made my list as a potential repeat property.

“Great for price.” There are stairs so if you have family that are limited be sure to ask for something on a lower level.

“Rest and Relaxation” My family and I enjoyed our recent stay. The location was great and would definitely recommend this to our friends. The only negative comment is that the decor could use some updating but otherwise we had a very pleasant stay.

“good times, but, property needs upkeep” We have stayed at Beachhead condos before, and have always had a great time. We had a wonderful time, as usual. However, we were disappointed in the condition of this particular unit. There were several issues in the area of general upkeep of the unit that needed attention. Peeling wallpaper in the bathroom repaired with staples! Rusty shower curtain rod, and tub also rusted and in need of fresh caulking. The pull out sofa in such bad condition it was useless. The unit was just not well kept by the owner. All things that would seem to be quick and easy fixes. I will stay at Beachhead again but will avoid this unit.

“Great location” The rental is in need of repairs. Chairs in the living room are filthy. Outdoor table broken.

“Location not enough” LC6 has one of the better locations in Lost Colony, but that is all it has going for it. Both the interior and exterior had extreme wear, paint peeling and visible mold in the bathroom, and a section of siding pulled up with insulation exposed on the exeterior. We had a minor issue with the dvd player and coffee pot not working, but PAE quickly and professionally provided working replacements. While I would not recommend Lc6, I would recommend them to friends and intend to visit Lost Colony again via PAE.
